When should good Democrats take a position on the TPP? [View all]

As some on DU know, I'm not the brightest bulb in the chandelier and I'm looking for advice on how to be sensible and/or reasonable. I'm reading conflicting things about when I'm supposed to have an opinion about the TPP. Can y'all help me figure out it out?
